Computing Essentials for Faculty and Staff

Getting Connected

Computer Labs and Kiosks
Fifteen campus computer labs provide access to the Internet, scanners, video editing equipment, color printers and other resources. There are also more than 20 department-specific computer labs and 50 kiosks on campus, as well as labs rentals. The Digital Media Center @ Biotech assists faculty, staff and graduate students in integrating multimedia technology into teaching and research.

Wireless
To use the campus wireless network all you need is a NetID and a laptop with a wireless network card. Just open your laptop and browser, click on the wireless network link, and log on. You’re never more than a five-minute walk from a wireless access site.

Remote Access
DoIT does not provide Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) or Cable Modem service, but there are several commercial service providers in the area for a monthly fee. For dial-in service, DoIT provides over 1000 56K modems.
